down&lt;br /&gt;to their brooding foreheads&lt;br /&gt;and break into sheer, opaque rain.&lt;br /&gt;The flowers languish&lt;br /&gt;in the gardens of sad men.&lt;br /&gt;Their steep downfall tempts the death.&lt;br /&gt;Whereas,&lt;br /&gt;The women within a woman&lt;br /&gt;are born at the same time&lt;br /&gt;right before the eyes of sad men.&lt;br /&gt;The woman-vessel open her belly again&lt;br /&gt;and offers him her redeeming milk.&lt;br /&gt;The woman-child kisses with fervor&lt;br /&gt;his paternal hands, the hands of a desolate widower.&lt;br /&gt;She walks there silently in the house&lt;br /&gt;brightens his hours and patches up&lt;br /&gt;all the holes in his breast.&lt;br /&gt;There is something else she lends him: &lt;br /&gt;her two hands, as if they were wings.&lt;br /&gt;But the sad men can’t listen their music.&lt;br /&gt;There is then no woman more lonely,&lt;br /&gt;more lonely in sadness,&lt;br /&gt;than the one who loves a sad man.&lt;br

pensativas bajan&lt;br /&gt;las nubes&lt;br /&gt;y se rompen en fina lluvia opaca. &lt;br /&gt;Las flores agonizan&lt;br /&gt;en los jardines de los hombres tristes. &lt;br /&gt;Sus precipicios tientan a la muerte. &lt;br /&gt;En cambio, &lt;br /&gt;las mujeres que en una mujer hay&lt;br /&gt;nacen a un tiempo todas&lt;br /&gt;ante los ojos tristes de los tristes. &lt;br /&gt;La mujer-cántaro abre otra vez su vientre&lt;br /&gt;y le ofrece su leche redentora. &lt;br /&gt;La mujer niña besa fervorosa&lt;br /&gt;sus manos paternales de viudo desolado.&lt;br /&gt;La de andar silencioso por la casa&lt;br /&gt;lustra sus horas negras y remienda&lt;br /&gt;los agujeros todos de su pecho.&lt;br /&gt;Otra hay que al triste presta sus dos manos&lt;br /&gt;como si fueran alas.&lt;br /&gt;Pero los hombres tristes son sordos a sus músicas.&lt;br /&gt;No hay pues mujer más sola, &lt;br /&gt;más tristemente sola, &lt;br /&gt;que la que quiere amar a un hombre triste.

Be happy.&lt;br /&gt;Your viscera now is your viscera again&lt;br /&gt;and not the coarse food of worry.&lt;br /&gt;You are no longer yet that drunk god and uncertain &lt;br /&gt;that you turned out to be.

Y la criatura &lt;br /&gt;que iluminabas &lt;br /&gt;                       (y que iluminaba&lt;br /&gt;tus ojos ciegos a las nimias cosas &lt;br /&gt;del mundo)&lt;br /&gt;ha vuelto a ser mortal. &lt;br /&gt;Todo recobra &lt;br /&gt;su densidad, su peso, su volumen, &lt;br /&gt;ese pobre equilibrio que sostiene &lt;br /&gt;tu nuevo invierno. Alégrate. &lt;br /&gt;Tus vísceras ahora son otra vez tus vísceras&lt;br /&gt;y no crudo alimento de zozobras. &lt;br /&gt;Ya no eres ese dios ebrio e incierto &lt;br /&gt;que te fue dado ser.

all the innocence.&lt;br /&gt;Mouth that keeps silence when to tell a secret.&lt;br /&gt;Your mouth, capable of all the truth,&lt;br /&gt;of all the truth and the lie.&lt;br /&gt;Laughter from your mouth awakens the day.&lt;br /&gt;(Lightning of snow is there in your laughter).&lt;br /&gt;Like a troop of colts, the kisses&lt;br /&gt;Of your sweet mouth knock me down;&lt;br /&gt;your mouth, an errant butterfly,&lt;br /&gt;your alien mouth gets blurred&lt;br /&gt;in the circle of my night and ashes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De círculo y ceniza&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

ella,&lt;br /&gt;todo el rumor del mar,&lt;br /&gt;toda la espuma.&lt;br /&gt;Boca para los besos dibujada,&lt;br /&gt;donde duerme tu lengua tentadora.&lt;br /&gt;Todo el vino del mundo está en tu boca,&lt;br /&gt;todo el pecado&lt;br /&gt;y la inocencia toda.&lt;br /&gt;Boca que calla y cuando dice, oculta.&lt;br /&gt;Capaz de toda la verdad tu boca,&lt;br /&gt;de toda la verdad y la mentira.&lt;br /&gt;Ríe tu boca y se despierta el día.&lt;br /&gt;(Relámpagos de nieve hay en tu risa).&lt;br /&gt;Como un tropel de potros me atropellan&lt;br /&gt;los besos de tu boca

rustic with rural humors&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They know and search fondly for her&lt;br /&gt;denuding her white hips in the darkness&lt;br /&gt;a young girl made for a bouquet of flowers&lt;br /&gt;a gallant girl for everybody for anything&lt;br /&gt;she began loving with her body too soon&lt;br /&gt;and her understanding was too bad&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The girl&lt;br /&gt;the ready-skirt-girl&lt;br /&gt;sends a wave towards me with her open skirt…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It happened as usual on idle pastures&lt;br /&gt;when the sun was the sun and the heat the heat&lt;br /&gt;her mouth open to the soft summer clouds&lt;br /&gt;and her skirt over her face like covering a garden&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;She glanced sideways from the corners of her eyes&lt;br /&gt;when for

muchacha-de-la-pollera-pronta&lt;br /&gt;tiende sus brazos desnudos . . . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ella extiende su cuerpo con ademanes calmosos&lt;br /&gt;en el día en la noche&lt;br /&gt;para todos

esta noche antes de los somníferos &lt;br /&gt;dejad que avance la imagen de la muchacha-de-la-pollera-pronta&lt;br /&gt;cada vez más lenta&lt;br /&gt;cada vez más oleante&lt;br /&gt;necesito de todos sus pujantes recuerdos . . . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La muchacha&lt;br /&gt;la  muchacha de la pollera pronta&lt;br /&gt;y su playa-su-playa-su-playa por todas partes . . . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

serious and sober man&lt;br /&gt;with his small bank account and his &lt;em&gt;curriculum vitae&lt;/em&gt;no doubt he established himself in the process&lt;br /&gt;he looks at her and examines her &lt;br /&gt;in an abstract way&lt;br /&gt;as if he were examining&lt;br /&gt;an old rusty thing&lt;br /&gt;in the brilliant light of the sun&lt;br /&gt;Blinking stupidly in a lapse of forgetfulness&lt;br /&gt;and shadow and grease…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tersias is blind I guess to her shrunken breasts&lt;br /&gt;We are all ike him&lt;br /&gt;--or at least somewhat like him-&lt;br

/&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Años después ella pasa con un gordo contoneo&lt;br /&gt;envuelta en pieles emplumadas&lt;br /&gt;Su perfume es el mismo barato y dulce&lt;br /&gt;lo mismo ondula su grupa de sanguijuela encantadora&lt;br /&gt;tiene en cambio los ojos turbios&lt;br /&gt;como dos cuentas desteñidas de porcelana&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El parece un hombre serio y sobrio&lt;br /&gt;con su cuentica en el Banco y su “curriculum vitae”&lt;br /&gt;no hay duda de que ha sabido ubicarse en el proceso&lt;br /&gt;la mira la examina de una manera abstracta&lt;br /&gt;como si examinara &lt;br /&gt;una cosa vieja oxidada&lt;br /&gt;a la brillante luz del sol&lt;br /&gt;Parpadeando estúpidamente desde un lapso de olvido&lt;br /&gt;y sombra y grasa . . . &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tiresias ciego

kisses,&lt;br /&gt;You held me to your chest sighing&lt;br /&gt;As if you wanted me no more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You get up in the morning &lt;br /&gt;And leave me alone,&lt;br /&gt;I am defenseless &lt;br /&gt;I can fly no more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now I do not love you&lt;br /&gt;I am in another’s arms,&lt;br /&gt;Loving and being loved.&lt;br /&gt;I have stopped loving you&lt;br

grief,&lt;br /&gt;That’s why I cry.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Would you go away&lt;br /&gt;And hurt me no more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Presentimiento&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

will tell you later&lt;br /&gt;why the time hurts me so much&lt;br /&gt;and why there is no turning back&lt;br /&gt;to pay for my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I do not know&lt;br /&gt;Why the days pile up&lt;br /&gt;And wait in a row.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do I want&lt;br /&gt;To get out of me?&lt;br /&gt;Tell me, my compañero&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I call you&lt;br /&gt;And I call you!&lt;br /&gt;Without any response.&lt;br /&gt;And everyone wants to convince me&lt;br /&gt;that I have gone crazy.&lt;br /&gt;As you are dead&lt;br /&gt;and your name remains&lt;br /&gt;for everyone in memory.&lt;br /&gt;Yes, only in memory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I have memory.&lt;br /&gt;I am not crazy.&lt;br /&gt;And I know what I have&lt;br /&gt;And what have I lost.&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I meet you in my loneliness.&lt;br /&gt;But you do not understand&lt;br /&gt;That I know it so well,&lt;br /&gt;You are not with meand are always with me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because when we lived&lt;br /&gt;It was like living&lt;br /&gt;Carrying our love&lt;br /&gt;To the pain of burning fires!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That happened to blend our blood&lt;br /&gt;when suddenly it was cold&lt;br /&gt;and hardened in order&lt;br /&gt;to set the bones in sites.&lt;br /&gt;And to forget that I cried&lt;br /&gt;even though you did not know it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Later I will tell you&lt;br /&gt;how are our children&lt;br /&gt;and why I grumble all day long,&lt;br /&gt;serving you a cup of coffee&lt;br /&gt;reaching to your chair&lt;br /&gt;and not understanding&lt;br /&gt;why it is empty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One morning I was sad&lt;br /&gt;and I did not know why.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I was happy&lt;br /&gt;to the point of being pretty.&lt;br /&gt;And up to my waist exceeded&lt;br /&gt;the hands, the flowers&lt;br /&gt;the perfume, the warmth&lt;br /&gt;the agility and the engagements…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Still the darkness lasted&lt;br /&gt;longer than the laughter,&lt;br /&gt;and it cost me fulfilling my hopes….&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I can still contemplate the sun&lt;br /&gt;through your tears to mine.&lt;br /&gt;You see, we shared the pain.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I urge you to listen to me,&lt;br /&gt;though at a distant,&lt;br /&gt;I wish you to know&lt;br /&gt;who I am.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I do not regret that God suspects&lt;br /&gt;I stole the key to what I have lost.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That I guarded this love!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And that a distracted angel,&lt;br /&gt;By your death,&lt;br /&gt;Unaccountably gave it to me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The key to your alive image.&lt;br /&gt;As he knew&lt;br /&gt;The time was deceived.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I dream like yesterday&lt;br /&gt;What I am today.&lt;br /&gt;That’s why it’s hard&lt;br /&gt;For you to respond to me.&lt;br /&gt;Of that I myself am not sure.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My voice will reach you, my friend.&lt;br /&gt;You will listen me very closely.&lt;br /&gt;I am going towards…&lt;br /&gt;You and I will be together.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¡Después te cuento!&lt;br /&gt;A mi esposo Martín Alberto Boneo 1975&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Después te cuento&lt;br /&gt;porque me duele&lt;br /&gt;el tiempo&lt;br /&gt;y nunca tengo&lt;br /&gt;un vuelto&lt;br /&gt;para pagar&lt;br /&gt;mi vida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y no sabemos&lt;br /&gt;por qué&lt;br /&gt;los días se amontonan&lt;br /&gt;y&lt;br /&gt;me esperan en fila.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Porque me quiero fuera&lt;br /&gt;de mi misma&lt;br /&gt;¿Por qué compañero?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo te llamo&lt;br /&gt;y te llamo!&lt;br /&gt;sin que responda nadie&lt;br /&gt;y todosquieren convencerme&lt;br /&gt;que estoy equivocada&lt;br /&gt;y tu haz muerto&lt;br /&gt;y que tu nombre&lt;br /&gt;les pertenece,&lt;br /&gt;a todosen&lt;br /&gt;el recuerdo&lt;br /&gt;si!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo tengo memoria&lt;br /&gt;no estoy loca&lt;br /&gt;Sí!&lt;br /&gt;yo sé lo que tengo&lt;br /&gt;y lo perdido, sí&lt;br /&gt;y me encuentro&lt;br /&gt;contigo a solas.&lt;br /&gt;Y no me entiendes&lt;br /&gt;que comprendo todo&lt;br /&gt;que no estas y&lt;br /&gt;que estás&lt;br /&gt;siempre conmigo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Porque cuando se vive&lt;br /&gt;lo que se ha vivido&lt;br /&gt;llevamos al amor&lt;br /&gt;hacia el dolor del fuego&lt;br /&gt;por haberlo encendido!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Eso sucede&lt;br /&gt;por medir&lt;br /&gt;la sangre&lt;br /&gt;cuando se heló&lt;br /&gt;de pronto endurecida&lt;br /&gt;hasta ordenar los huesos&lt;br /&gt;en un sitio y&lt;br /&gt;olvidar que he llorado&lt;br /&gt;aunque tu no lo sabías.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Después te cuento&lt;br /&gt;como están los chicos,&lt;br /&gt;porque rezongo todo el día&lt;br /&gt;y te sirvo un café&lt;br /&gt;y te alcanzo una silla&lt;br /&gt;que no entiendo&lt;br /&gt;por qué esta vacía.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Es que me puse triste&lt;br /&gt;una mañana,&lt;br /&gt;y no sé por qué?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yo era alegre&lt;br /&gt;y hasta bonita&lt;br /&gt;y a mi cintura le sobraban&lt;br /&gt;manos&lt;br /&gt;flores, perfumes, tibieza,&lt;br /&gt;agilidad y citas...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y sin embargo ahora&lt;br /&gt;dura más la tiniebla&lt;br /&gt;que la risa.&lt;br /&gt;Y me cuesta&lt;br /&gt;llenarme de&lt;br /&gt;esperanzas...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sí puedo todavía&lt;br /&gt;contemplar el sol&lt;br /&gt;a través de tus lágrimas&lt;br /&gt;en mis lágrimas&lt;br /&gt;ya ves&lt;br /&gt;nos compartimos en&lt;br /&gt;el dolor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anímate a escucharme&lt;br /&gt;desde lejos sí aún&lt;br /&gt;tienes ganas&lt;br /&gt;de saber quién soy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No me arrepiento&lt;br /&gt;de que Dios sospeche&lt;br /&gt;que me robe la llave&lt;br /&gt;de lo que había perdido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Que me guardé el amor!&lt;br /&gt;Que un ángel distraído&lt;br /&gt;por tu muerte&lt;br /&gt;sin darse cuenta&lt;br /&gt;me la dió.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La llave de tu imagen viva&lt;br /&gt;porque sabías&lt;br /&gt;que me engañaba el tiempo.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y sueño igual que ayer&lt;br /&gt;lo que soy hoy.&lt;br /&gt;Por eso es tan difícil que respondas&lt;br /&gt;aunque no estoy segura.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Te alcanzará mi voz,&lt;br /&gt;Amigo mío;&lt;br /&gt;La escuchas muy cerca...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya voy...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Somos tu y yo.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

wings…&lt;br /&gt;Where will be those who yesterday&lt;br /&gt;Put on my shoulders the insomnia&lt;br /&gt;Of the first hour of dawn!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Day, the knife-sharpener of the gold-scissors,&lt;br /&gt;The steel-daggers and the iron-backs;&lt;br /&gt;Last night I had the wings&lt;br /&gt;And I reached the sky.&lt;br /&gt;But this morning&lt;br /&gt;You arrived with your flute and stone&lt;br /&gt;And your twelve silver-knives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Then, slowly began cutting the wings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El afilador&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

alba!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Día, afilador de tijeras de oro,&lt;br /&gt;Y puñales de acero, y espaldas de hierro;&lt;br /&gt;Anoche yo tenía alas&lt;br /&gt;Y estuve cerca del cielo.&lt;br /&gt;Pero esta mañana&lt;br /&gt;Llegaste tú con tu flauta, tu piedra.&lt;br /&gt;Tus doce cuchillos de plata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y lentamente me fuiste cortando las alas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

my skin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that I have on my soles&lt;br /&gt;the living sandals of the spring.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now on my lips the laughter rings&lt;br /&gt;like a bell rings in a

I know&lt;br /&gt;nothing much of it will remain later!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Useless will be then your desire&lt;br /&gt;like an offering placed in a mausoleum.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take me now though it’s early,&lt;br /&gt;my hands with nard are richly creamed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, but not much late. Before the night falls,&lt;br /&gt;and the fresh corolla withers off. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, and not tomorrow. Oh Lover!

Antes que anochezca&lt;br /&gt;y se vuelva mustia la corola fresca.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hoy, y no mañana. ¡Oh amante! ¿no ves&lt;br /&gt;que la enredadera crecerá ciprés?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Promise&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;All the gold in the world lacked&lt;br /&gt;Luster in the evening shine!&lt;br /&gt;Barely in the twilight of rose&lt;br /&gt;Were the tops of trees dyed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A surprise love, my hand joined&lt;br /&gt;With his hand, dark and trembling!&lt;br /&gt;We were Booz and Ruth before the beauty&lt;br /&gt;That surrounded the farmstead.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;“Will you love me?” You whispered. Slowly and surely,&lt;br /&gt;Trilled in my lips the soft promise&lt;br /&gt;Of sweetness to lover from Moabita. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it was like an “Amen!” In that moment&lt;br /&gt;The rhythm of oration rose vibrating&lt;br /&gt;With the rhythm of the hermitage bell.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La Promesa&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¡Todo el oro del mundo parecía&lt;br /&gt;diluído en la tarde luminosa!&lt;br /&gt;Apenas un crepúsculo de rosa,&lt;br /&gt;la copa de los árboles teñía.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un imprevisto amor, mi mano unía&lt;br /&gt;a tu mano, morena y temblorosa.&lt;br /&gt;¡Eramos Booz y Ruth ante la hermosa&lt;br /&gt;era que circundaba la alquería!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"¿Me amarás?", murmuraste. Lenta y grave&lt;br /&gt;vibró en mis labios la promesa suave&lt;br /&gt;de la dulce, la amante moabita.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y fué como un ¡Amén! en ese instante&lt;br /&gt;el toque de oración que alzó vibrante&lt;br /&gt;la rítmica campana de la ermita&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23377260-114183542029839426?l=tanzankopra.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://tanzankopra.blogspot.com/feeds/114183542029839426/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23377260&amp;postID=114183542029839426' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23377260/posts/default/114183542029839426'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/23377260/posts/default/114183542029839426'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://tanzankopra.blogspot.com/2006/03/juana-de-ibarbourou-uruguay.html' title='Juana de Ibarbourou (              ) Uruguay'/><author><name>Tanzan Kopra</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09351956831736490149</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23377260.post-114183510969164537</id><published>2006-03-08T08:20:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2006-03-16T20:34:41.066-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Antonio Machado ( 1875 -1939) Spain</title><content type='html'>There is a tower in the plaza&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is a tower in the plaza,&lt;br /&gt;In the tower there's a balcony,&lt;br /&gt;In the balcony there's a lady,&lt;br /&gt;A lady, a white flower.&lt;br /&gt;There passed a young man.&lt;br /&gt;-Does anyone knows why?-,&lt;br /&gt;And he carried the plaza,&lt;br /&gt;With its tower, its balcony,&lt;br /&gt;With its balcony, its lady,&lt;br /&gt;His lady and his white flower.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La plaza tiene una torre&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La plaza tiene una torre,&lt;br /&gt;la torre tiene un balcón,&lt;br /&gt;el balcón tiene una dama,&lt;br /&gt;la dama una blanca flor.&lt;br /&gt;Ha pasado un caballero&lt;br /&gt;- ¡quién sabe por qué pasó! -,&lt;br /&gt;y se ha llevado la plaza&lt;br /&gt;con su torre y su balcón,&lt;br /&gt;con su balcón y su dama,&lt;br /&gt;su dama y su blanca flor.&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Memory from Childhood&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A cloudy and chilly afternoon&lt;br /&gt;In winter .The students&lt;br /&gt;Are studying.

only like a tunnel. The birds fled from me&lt;br /&gt;And the night entered me with its forceful invasion.&lt;br /&gt;To survive myself I forged you like a weapon.&lt;br /&gt;Like an arrow in my bow, like a stone in my sling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the hour of the vengeance falls, and I love you.&lt;br /&gt;Body of skin, of moss, of avid and firm milk.&lt;br /&gt;Ah the goblets of your breasts!

No me abandones. Sígueme. &lt;br /&gt;Sígueme, compañera, en esa ola de angustia. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero se van tiñendo con tu amor mis palabras. &lt;br /&gt;Todo lo ocupas tú, todo lo ocupas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

shining eyes&lt;br /&gt;And your mouth that has the smile of water.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A black and anguised sun rolls you in the threads &lt;br /&gt;Of your long black hair when you open your arms.&lt;br /&gt;You play in the sun as playing in a tidal river&lt;br /&gt;That leaves two dark pools in your eyes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Brown-haired agile girl, nothing from you comes to me.&lt;br /&gt;All of you go away from me as if from the noon.&lt;br /&gt;You are the delirious youth of bee,&lt;br /&gt;The drunkenness of the wave, the force of the ear of wheat.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My somber hearts searches for you, nevertheless,&lt;br /&gt;And I love your beautiful body, your voice soft and free.&lt;br /&gt;Sweet and sure brown-haired butterfly,&lt;br /&gt;Like the fields of wheat, the sun, the poppy and the water. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Poema 19 &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Niña morena y ágil, el sol que hace las frutas, &lt;br /&gt;el que cuaja los trigos, el que tuerce las algas, &lt;br /&gt;hizo tu cuerpo alegre, tus luminosos ojos &lt;br /&gt;y tu boca que tiene la sonrisa del agua. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un sol negro y ansioso se te arrolla en las hebras &lt;br /&gt;de la negra melena, cuando estiras los brazos. &lt;br /&gt;Tú juegas con el sol como con un estero &lt;br /&gt;y él te deja en los ojos dos oscuros remansos. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Niña morena y ágil, nada hacia ti me acerca. &lt;br /&gt;Todo de ti me aleja, como del mediodía. &lt;br /&gt;Eres la delirante juventud de la abeja, &lt;br /&gt;la embriaguez de la ola, la fuerza de la espiga. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi corazón sombrío te busca, sin embargo, &lt;br /&gt;y amo tu cuerpo alegre, tu voz suelta y delgada. &lt;br /&gt;Mariposa morena dulce y definitiva &lt;br /&gt;como el trigal y el sol, la amapola y el agua.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-----------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sonnet XI&lt;br

search for the liquid sounds of your feet.&lt;br /&gt;I am hungry for your smooth laughter,&lt;br /&gt;For your hands the color of a savage harvest,&lt;br /&gt;Hungry for the pail stones of your nails.&lt;br /&gt;Like a whole almond I want to eat your skin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to eat the ray burnt by your beauty,&lt;br /&gt;The sovereign nose of the arrogant face, &lt;br /&gt;I want to eat the fleeting shadow of your lashes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I come hungry sniffing the twilight,&lt;br /&gt;Searching for you, searching for your hot heart&lt;br /&gt;Like a puma in the solitude of Quitratue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tengo hambre de tu boca, de tu voz, de tu pelo &lt;br /&gt;y por las calles voy sin nutrirme, callado, &lt;br /&gt;no me sostiene el pan, el alba me desquicia, &lt;br /&gt;busco el sonido líquido de tus pies en el día. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Estoy hambriento de tu risa resbalada, &lt;br /&gt;de tus manos color de furioso granero, &lt;br /&gt;tengo hambre de la pálida piedra de tus uñas, &lt;br /&gt;quiero comer tu piel como una intacta almendra. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quiero comer el rayo quemado en tu hermosura, &lt;br /&gt;la nariz soberana del arrogante rostro, &lt;br /&gt;quiero comer la sombra fugaz de tus pestañas &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;y hambriento vengo y voy olfateando el crepúsculo &lt;br /&gt;buscándote, buscando tu corazón caliente &lt;br /&gt;como un puma en la soledad de Quitratúe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sonnet LXXIX&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;At night, my love, tie your heart to my heart&lt;br /&gt;And they’ll defeat the darkness in dreams&lt;br /&gt;Like two drums beating in a forest&lt;br /&gt;Against the heavy wall of wet leaves.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Night crossing, black coal of dreams,&lt;br /&gt;Intercepts the thread of earthly grapes&lt;br /&gt;With the tenacity of a beheading train&lt;br /&gt;Ceaselessly dragging shadows and cold stones. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, my love, tie me with a pure gesture&lt;br /&gt;To the tenacity that beats in your chest&lt;br /&gt;With the wings of a submerged swan.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So that to the starry questions of the sky&lt;br /&gt;Our dream responds with a single key,&lt;br /&gt;To a single door closed by the night.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Note:&lt;/em&gt; Line 8 needs correction.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sonnet LXXIX&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;De noche, amada, amarra tu corazón al mío &lt;br /&gt;y que ellos en el sueño derroten las tinieblas &lt;br /&gt;como un doble tambor combatiendo en el bosque &lt;br /&gt;contra el espeso muro de las hojas mojadas. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nocturna travesía, brasa negra del sueño &lt;br /&gt;interceptando el hilo de las uvas terrestres &lt;br /&gt;con la puntualidad de un tren descabellado &lt;br /&gt;que sombra y piedras frías sin cesar arrastrara. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por eso, amor, amárrame el movimiento puro, &lt;br /&gt;a la tenacidad que en tu pecho golpea &lt;br /&gt;con las alas de un cisne sumergido, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;para que a las preguntas estrelladas del cielo &lt;br /&gt;responda nuestro sueño con una sola llave, &lt;br /&gt;con una sola puerta cerrada por la sombra.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;--------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Sonnet LXXXI&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;Already you are mine. Resting in your dream with my dream.&lt;br /&gt;Love, pain, work must sleep for now.&lt;br /&gt;The night turns on its invisible wheels&lt;br /&gt;And beside me you’re like pure honey, asleep.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nothing more, love, you’ll sleep with my dreams.&lt;br /&gt;You’ll go, together we’ll go by the tide of the times.&lt;br /&gt;No body will travel by my shadows,&lt;br /&gt;Only you, always lifelike, always the sun, always the moon.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Already your hands opened the delicate fists&lt;br /&gt;And dropped smooth signs without a direction,&lt;br /&gt;Your eyes closed like two gray wings.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;While I follow the water that carries you and me:&lt;br /&gt;The night, the world, the winds wind their destiny,&lt;br /&gt;And no longer am I with you but only your dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SONETO LXXXI &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya eres mía. Reposa con tu sueño en mi sueño. &lt;br /&gt;Amor, dolor, trabajos, deben dormir ahora. &lt;br /&gt;Gira la noche sobre sus invisibles ruedas &lt;br /&gt;y junto a mí eres pura como el ámbar dormido. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ninguna más, amor, dormirá con mis sueños. &lt;br /&gt;Irás, iremos juntos por las aguas del tiempo. &lt;br /&gt;Ninguna viajará por la sombra conmigo, &lt;br /&gt;sólo tú, siempreviva, siempre sol, siempre luna. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ya tus manos abrieron los puños delicados &lt;br /&gt;y dejaron caer suaves signos sin rumbo, &lt;br /&gt;tus ojos se cerraron como dos alas grises, &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;mientras yo sigo el agua que llevas y me lleva: &lt;br /&gt;la noche, el mundo, el viento devanan su destino, &lt;br /&gt;y ya no soy sin ti sino sólo tu sueño.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Absence&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Scarecly have I left you,&lt;br /&gt;when you go into me, transparent&lt;br /&gt;or shaking,&lt;br /&gt;or restless, wounded by myself&lt;br /&gt;or loaded up with love, as when your eyes &lt;br /&gt;close upon the gift of life&lt;br /&gt;that I ceaselessly give you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love of mine,&lt;br /&gt;we have found eachother&lt;br /&gt;thirsty and we have &lt;br /&gt;drunk up all the water and the blood,&lt;br /&gt;we found each other&lt;br /&gt;with hunger&lt;br /&gt;and we bit each other&lt;br /&gt;as the fire bites,&lt;br /&gt;leaving in us the wounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But wait for me,&lt;br /&gt;save for me your sweetness.&lt;br /&gt;I too will give you&lt;br /&gt;a rose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ausencia&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Apenas te he dejado,  &lt;br /&gt;vas en mí, cristalina  &lt;br /&gt;o temblorosa,  &lt;br /&gt;o inquieta, herida por mí mismo  &lt;br /&gt;o colmada de amor, como cuando tus ojos  &lt;br /&gt;se cierran sobre el don de la vida  &lt;br /&gt;que sin cesar te entrego.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Amor mío,  &lt;br /&gt;nos hemos encontrado  &lt;br /&gt;sedientos y nos hemos  &lt;br /&gt;bebido toda el agua y la sangre,  &lt;br /&gt;nos encontramos  &lt;br /&gt;con hambre  &lt;br /&gt;y nos mordimos  &lt;br /&gt;como el fuego muerde,  &lt;br /&gt;dejándonos heridas.  &lt;br /&gt;  &lt;br /&gt;Pero espérame,  &lt;br /&gt;guárdame tu dulzura.  &lt;br /&gt;Yo te daré también  &lt;br /&gt;una rosa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now they give me peace,&lt;br /&gt;Now let them be without me.&lt;br /&gt;I am going to close my eyes&lt;br /&gt;And only want five things&lt;br /&gt;Five basic preferred things:&lt;br /&gt;First is the love without an end.&lt;br /&gt;Second is the autumn to see.&lt;br /&gt;I cannot be without leaves&lt;br /&gt;They fly and come back to land.&lt;br /&gt;Third is the terrible winter,&lt;br /&gt;The rain that I loved,&lt;br /&gt;In the wild cold the fire’s caress,&lt;br /&gt;Fourth place is the summer&lt;br /&gt;Round as a water melon.&lt;br /&gt;The fifth are your eyes,&lt;br /&gt;Matilda, my beautiful love.&lt;br /&gt;I do not want to sleep without your eyes&lt;br /&gt;I do not want you be not looking at me.&lt;br /&gt;I will change the spring&lt;br /&gt;For you’ll continue looking at me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora me dejen tranquilo,&lt;br /&gt;ahora se acostumbren sin mí&lt;br /&gt;yo voy a cerrar los ojos&lt;br /&gt;y sólo quiero cinco cosas&lt;br /&gt;cinco raíces preferidas:&lt;br /&gt;Una es el amor sin fin,&lt;br /&gt;lo segundo es ver el otoño;&lt;br /&gt;no puedo ser, sin que las hojas &lt;br /&gt;vuelen y vuelvan a la tierra.&lt;br /&gt;Lo tercero es el grave invierno,&lt;br /&gt;la lluvia que amé,&lt;br /&gt;la caricia del fuego en el frío silvestre.&lt;br /&gt;En cuarto lugar el verano&lt;br /&gt;redondo como una sandía.&lt;br /&gt;La quinta cosa son tus ojos,&lt;br /&gt;Matilde mía bien amada,&lt;br /&gt;no quiero dormir sin tus ojos.&lt;br /&gt;No quiero ser sin que me mires.&lt;br /&gt;Yo cambio la primavera&lt;br /&gt;por que tu me sigas mirando.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/23377260-114144832601256511?l=tanzankopra.blogspot.com' alt=''
